I think I actually needed this prompt today.

So yesterday started out as a beautiful and productive day. The last two days had found me doing spring cleaning. I went through alot of junk and sent it to the trash bin, rearranged the living room and bedroom and did a deep clean. My moden took a crap and needed replaced and Spectrum was quick to show up and replace it.I then repaired my stereo rack cabinet as I broke a castor on it while rolling it around. I had originally put straight castors on it so yesterday I changed them out for swivels. In so doing I had to take the stereo systems completely apart and rewire it as I put it back together.

Hearing a knock on the door I open it and find a package waiting for me. My new microphone arrived which had me stoked with anticipation and you guessed it, it was the next thing on my agenda. Plug it in to the reel to reel and poof! my barks sound loud and proud. This magical day was smooth sailing and I couldn’t wait to get into my DAW and play around.
And then it happened…I walked out to check the mail and one letter awaited. It was from Social Security.

I’ve never had a lot of luck dealing with the government and this letter was not the exception. They informed me they were taking half of next months check in back payments and further checks are being cut by $200 a month. Growl and bark? bet your sweet tooth that’s what I was doing. No way to get ahold of them before Monday so I had a hissy fit. Life felt like someone had flushed a toilet and it was swirling down the drain in ungodly speed.
I lost all hope in the future as the only income I have is my retirement and it is not top tier level by any means. After complaining to our father about this and making it clear I wasn’t blaming him but was upset I asked for his help. Around ten minutes later a calmness overtook me and I started looking into any info I could for this insane problem.

I found it online. I had been sent notifications to submit proof of income which I hadn’t seen. When on the state’s site they hide them under some drop down and don’t offer any way to direct you to them. Hopefully Monday I can get this all straightened out and only half to deal with the cut in next months payment. Thank you Lord for the guidance and compassion you always provide.
Now I’m off to refill the beautiful black bean breakfast cup and try to understand the use of midis and vst’s which is way harder than I thought it would be. As for the microphone…let’s just say my bark is much more worse than my bite. 😂😂😂
